Tactful Bestman Toasts

As a bride, there are many facets of your wedding we're sure you're nervous about. However, the best man's speech shouldn't be one of them. Often times the best man says "I'm gonna wing it" or he writes this long, dramatic sequence of events that had transpired between your beau and himself some 20 years ago that has no relevance to you or your wedding day.

To prevent this from happening, we have equipped you with some pretty standard yet eloquent speeches that will speak volumes about the best man and yourselves. We support uniqueness 100% when it comes to writing the speeches. However, there are those rare people (you know who I'm talking about- we all know someone) who easily "inserts their foot in their mouth" and we can't always be sure what they are going to say. For those people, this article exists. If you feel comfortable having your man's best bud write his speech, then go for it!

If you see pieces of different speeches that you like, you can certainly combine them where it is fitting! We can help make the best man's speech truly remarkable. We have writers on staff who are awaiting your questions! Please feel free to contact us!
